They’re literally calling it a “disposal” of public lands.
Disposal. Like expired meat. Like broken furniture.
Nevada’s gov just signed a deal with the BLM to identify federal lands to be cleared and sold. This isn’t a rogue state. This is federal policy. The BLM is not resisting. They are all in.

Nevada Governor and BLM Sign Agreement to Release Federal Lands for Development
They’re literally calling it a “disposal of public lands” as if shared wilderness, sacred ground, and national inheritance are garbage to be cleared and sold.

Public lands were never just about the land. They were about the promise — that these places would be managed by and for the people. That a kid from anywhere, with nothing but a backpack and a sense of wonder, could stand in the same valley as a president and feel just as entitled to be there.

Under this order, the default use of federally managed land—especially land with known or suspected mineral reserves—is no longer conservation, recreation, or cultural preservation. It’s extraction.

Quick bubble-burster for some frequent commenters: The states never owned America’s public lands.
Nope. Not then. Not now. Not ever.
